Integrated Systems Europe – Jupiter Systems, the industry leader
in visualization and collaboration
solutions for display walls and networked PCs, today announced that
it will showcase its entire line of high performance display wall
processors and networked visualization solutions, including its new
breakthrough Canvas multipoint collaborative visualization application,
at ISE 2013. This powerful new product enables users to share content
between control room display walls, PCs, and mobile devices anywhere on
the network, providing full collaboration and security. In addition to
Canvas, the Jupiter Systems booth will feature PixelNet® and Fusion
Catalyst™ display wall systems.

“Jupiter has had an extraordinary year of product innovation, quality
and growth,” said Brady O. Bruce, Vice President of Marketing and
Strategic Alliances. “From delivering the game-changing product, Canvas,
to record sales performance to continued investment in quality
management, engineering and field sales support, we have had a
record year of achievement.”

“For the first time, customers in Europe will be able to experience
Canvas, Jupiter’s innovative new visualization and collaboration suite
for enterprise-wide deployments and its full range of solutions focused
on display wall control.”

Record performance in worldwide sales

Jupiter’s outstanding sales performance in 2012 was driven by several
factors:

Strong sales to the military sector, including the United States Army,
the United States Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command
(SPAWAR), United Launch Alliance Operations Center (Lockheed Martin
and Boeing), Swiss Army, and Indonesian military.

Continued success in sales to the public sector, including the
intelligent traffic management centers at the North Carolina
Department of Transportation, Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation, Garden Grove Traffic Management Center, Department of
Transport and Main Roads (Australia), New Zealand Transport Authority;
Port Columbus International Airport, Baltimore/Washington
International Airport; Veterans Administration; Marion County
Department of Emergency Management, New South Wales Rural Fire Service
(Australia), Ministry of Emergency (Russia), and Ministry of Interior
(Bahrain).

Expansion into less traditional markets to support new corporate
applications. These sales focused on a range of companies and
industries, including MEDCO and Dendreon (medical); ESPN (broadcast);
the Australia Financial and Energy Exchange (stock exchange); James
Cooke University (Australia, education); the University of Oslo
(Norway, education); Macquarie Bank (Australia, finance); and ING Bank
(Belgium, finance).

Thriving demand in the People’s Republic of China with large
installations and robust sales involving Beijing, Shenzhen, Changsha,
and the Fujian Province Police Bureaus; coal mines in Pingdingshan,
Yitai and Puda; highways in Ruixun and Dechang; the Beijing, Macau,
and Shenzhen traffic bureaus; Tsinghua University; and power
generation and distribution facilities in Hubei, Wuhan, Hunan,
Liaoning, Quinghai, Guangzhou, Jiangxi and Shandong. Jupiter was an
early investor in China with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Jupiter
Systems China, with offices throughout the country.

Breakthrough innovation

Canvas

Canvas is Jupiter’s breakthrough visualization and collaboration suite
for enterprise-wide deployments. Users in the control room, across
campus, and around the world can see, share, annotate and collaborate on
live video and desktop streams. A rich set of collaborative tools
enables users to interact by annotating directly on shared video streams
or whiteboards across the network. Using the system’s advanced security
tools, administrators can restrict individual user access to features
and sources. Security at the object level eliminates the risk of
inadvertent disclosure of content to those without appropriate
authorization. A Canvas installation consists of one or more display
wall controllers, Windows PCs or mobile devices running the Canvas
client software, and a server running the Canvas server software.

ControlPoint™ 3.0

ControlPoint™ 3.0, a complete suite of software applications,
components, device drivers, control APIs and protocols for display wall
management, now includes ControlPoint Security™—security tools tightly
integrated with Jupiter Fusion Catalyst hardware and software.
ControlPoint Security™ features include Windows Active Directory
integration, providing secure login with the standard user name and
password controlled by the customer’s IT department and support for
Single Sign On. With security defined at the object level, managers can
create discrete management and access permissions for wall segments,
layouts, inputs, applications, and remote cursor control. The system
logs display wall operations for subsequent forensic analysis.
ControlPoint Security is NERC-compliant, meaning that it meets the
standards of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, an
organization certified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to
establish and enforce reliability standards for the US electrical
utilities industry.

Jupiter PixelNet Domain Control Version 1.7

Jupiter Systems’ PixelNet® distributed display wall system now offers a
redundant server option as part of the latest version of its PixelNet
Domain Control (PDC) software. In the event that the main PDC server
fails, the secondary server will automatically assume control in order
to keep the display wall operating without incident. PixelNet is already
well known as a fault-tolerant system, since a failure in any single
hardware input or output node does not impair operation of the rest of
the system. With the new redundant server option in PixelNet Domain
Control software version 1.7, the risk of system downtime is reduced to
near zero, an increasingly important requirement of mission critical
control room operations around the world.

Rewarded for continued commitment to quality management

In 2012, Jupiter Systems once again earned ISO 9001:2008 certification
for its quality management system. Jupiter Systems has been awarded ISO
certification every year since 2003 when it first qualified under the
earlier ISO 9001:2000 standard. Fulfilling the stringent requirements of
the ISO 9001:2008 standard each year is part of Jupiter’s commitment to
total customer satisfaction.

Strategic investments in sales support

Over the past year Jupiter invested in additional sales support to help
manage and enhance its global sales operations. The company also
expanded its China sales and marketing operations from its base in
Shenzhen to include offices in Beijing, Shenyang, Xi’an, Wuhan, Chengdu,
and Shanghai.
